The Gloucester Daily Times aims to be accurate. If you are aware of a factual error in a story, please call Times Editor Ray Lamont at 978-283-7000, ext. 3438.

The Gloucester City Council has not voted to formally reject a proposal to add a .75 percent local meals tax onto the.25 percent tax charged by the state.

Yesterday's editorial had praised the council's decision to essentially reject the proposed tax; that did not accurately represent the council's action.
